If you prioritize value and want a monitor with solid performance for both casual gaming and productivity at a more affordable price, the Innocn 27G1S (VA) would be a suitable choice. On the other hand, if you are willing to invest in a premium monitor with exceptional contrast and color depth for a superior HDR gaming and media consumption experience, and you also need a monitor for tasks that require accurate color reproduction like digital photo editing, the ViewSonic XG272 2K OLED (W-OLED) is an excellent option, despite its higher price. However, the ViewSonic's OLED panel may not be as bright in HDR content and has a lower peak brightness than some LED alternatives. Give Feedback
